Left 4 Dead 2: Taming the Wandering Witch

====================================================

In the world of survival horror shooters, few enemies strike fear into players' hearts quite like the imposing Witch from Valve's Left 4 Dead series. First introduced in the original game as a terrifying boss encounter, this lumbering behemoth returned bigger and scarier than ever in its sequel: Left 3... er, sorry, we mean Left 4 Dead 2.

In both iterations of Left 4 Dumb (sorry again!), the Witch remains an unstoppable force on the battlefield. Armed with nothing but her powerful fists and a seemingly impenetrable hide made from what looks suspiciously like old-school lead armor (don't ask us how she got those ripped-up prom dresses to fit), this lumbering monstrosity is more than capable of dispatching even the most seasoned Survivor in one swift, crushing blow.

But don't let her imposing appearance fool you - beneath that hulking exterior lies a fragile psyche waiting to be shattered. The Witch has two major weaknesses: light and sound. Anything too bright or loud will send this poor girl running for cover faster than Usain Bolt sprinting down the 100m dash track at the Olympics.

So how do you take advantage of these vulnerabilities? Simple - just stay quiet, keep your flashlight trained on her at all times (preferably held high enough that she can't reach it), and be prepared to make a quick exit if things start getting too hairy. And trust us when we say 'too hairy' is exactly what will happen the moment you manage to corner this nasty piece of zombie-fodder.

In conclusion, while there may not be much in terms of actual gameplay differences between Left 4 Dead's Witch and her more recent counterpart from Left 4 Dead 2 (although who needs variety when your boss encounters involve trying NOT TO GET MURDERED BY A GIANT FEMALE ZOMBIE IN PERPETUAL HEARTBREAK MODE?!), both versions are guaranteed to provide hours upon hours of heart-stopping action-packed fun for anyone brave enough to face them head-on.

So grab a controller, gather some friends (preferly ones who aren't afraid of being turned into human-pâté by an angry hag in ripped prom wear), and prepare yourself for the most terrifying experience you'll ever have playing Left 4 Dead - because when it comes down to it, there's no place scarier than... THE WITCH HOUSE!
